Update on Me

Hello All,

I apologize for my lack in posting lately! Things have been busy and I've had other things grabbing my moments of spare time lately.

I would like to give you all a brief update on what is happening in my life currently. Since graduating high school last June I have found that the Lord's ways are indeed so much higher then ours and His thoughts beyond anything we could ask, think, or imagine. I am so grateful for the freedom I have currently to truly follow the Lord wherever He leads.

Currently the job part of my life is taking care of a little girl at my church who has Downs Syndrome. She's precious and has opened my heart for children with special needs. I go to her house 2-3 times per week and enjoy watching her play, cleaning up her messes :), feeding her, and doing general housework. It is a job made in heaven just for me! :) I'm also busy teaching piano to 7 consistent students every Friday.

After much prayer and silent interest, I stepped out in January and began training to serve as a volunteer counselor at our local Pregnancy Resource Center. I go once a week for my training and I've learned so much already. I am eager to begin ministering to young ladies who truly just need to know Jesus. I love everything about babies and I love young women so it seemed like a perfect fit!

Also in January I finally did what the Lord had been leading me to do for about 8 months...I started a B.R.I.G.H.T. Lights group for some local girls! We meet twice a month and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. I encourage any of you who have thought and prayed about starting one to take that first step. It will bless and challenge you in more ways then you can imagine. This is definitely not to be taken lightly, but if God is calling let Him lead and you won't go wrong!

I'm also staying pretty busy at home and am enjoying spending time with my siblings when I can! Mamma is only 2 weeks away from her due-date and I'm so excited to meet this new little blessing from heaven!
I've been studying essential oils and am thoroughly enjoying my research in this other natural healing method. It's amazing to me how the Lord has hidden everything we need to live life to the fullest in His awesome creation! What an amazing God we serve!

Well, I think that about sums it up. I will continue to attempt to post at least once a week or every two weeks.
May you all be blessed in this new week!
Learning to delight in Jesus,
Hannah :)

I really enjoyed reading this update, Hannah! It's so neat to see the things you are doing post-graduation. I would love to do more babysitting after I graduate as well. I have also contemplated volunteering at a Crisis Pregnancy Center or some other local ministry. I would love to hear more updates on how that goes for you!

I'm also looking forward to having more time to study things that interest me (such as the essential oils for you!) One thing I will probably start with is grocery shopping and budgeting.

Welcome!

This blog is operated by a young lady, under the guidance of her parents, who hopes to be an encouragement to other young ladies who love the Lord Jesus. It is also her desire to freely share the message of salvation to those who have not heard or do not know what Jesus has done for them.May you be blessed as you read!

My Favorite Scripture Verses

I wish I could write the whole Bible right here! I guess I'll just have to put down some that have affected me the most:

"Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God."1 Peter 3:3-4- this verse has been my life verse for several years. I desire to be more beautiful on the inside, where Jesus lives, than on the outside which is passing away.

"Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."1 Timothy 4:12- Just because I'm young does not mean the Lord lowers His standard. Rather I should be a better example as I have all my life to practice!

"...That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style;"Psalm 144:12b- I desire to bring honor and glory to both my earthly and heavenly Father!

"Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:3-4- Obviously I explained why I like this verse on my very first post since it is the name of this blog.

"That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;"Colossians 1:10-I don't want to just walk through this life; I want to walk through it fully pleasing my Savior the whole way! May He find me fruitful right where I am!

About Me

My name is Hannah and I'm 19 years old. I started this blog with the intent to catalog my walk with the Lord and the things He showed me, as well as to encourage and inspire other young ladies! I currently live in VA with my family of 12 on a little farm with chickens, a dairy cow, cats, a dog, bunnies, and turkeys. I'm preparing to get married in April 2014 and will be moving to NE with my future husband. I hope to record the things the Lord continues to teach me along this pilgrimage journey called LIFE! Enjoy!
